brianthomas Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 15 minutes ago, Fan in San Diego said: Maybe not a bad idea, a pass route is a pass route, he is big enough to block if needed. Dude has good hands. yeah I'd like the idea if it was simply a matter of swapping him in there, like if you were playing Madden or something. If they could make it work, sure, but it'd be too difficult for him to learn a brand new position in time to make him a viable option. If we wanted help now (which i hope we do) it'd be better to just sign a legitimate TE instead, hopefully 1 without a history of injuries like Kroft. Kroft like Murphy are the 2 signings i didn't like from the start. But you win some & you lose some. If Kroft had stayed healthy we'd be singing a different tune. A GM can't hit on every acquisition. Beane has hit on more than he's missed on... I'm good with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess, he seems like a natural 190-pound guy who's bulked up and his body can't handle the stress from the extra weight... I would call that a wild a** guess Terrible contract for this guy......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but grand scheme and all that it’s really not a big deal. The experience was probably a factor with two rookies in the tight end corps. And neither of them evokes much confidence yet.

BarleyNY Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) The Kroft signing, contract and continued existence on the Bills roster is mind boggling. Beane (and McD) have done well overall and I like most of what they’ve done, but Kroft and a few other moves/decisions have been predictably terrible.

eball Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 When you look at the Bills cap list two names really jump out: Murphy at #4 and Kroft at #16. Those two guys eat up 7% of the Bills’ cap this season. I wouldn’t mind seeing them both go unless Kroft’s foot thing is minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I haven’t wanted him since the beginning. The one thing saving him is renegotiating his contract to be more friendly to us. He’ll be gone after 2020. Our mistake was not being more aggressive after Hooper. If we offered the same as Cleveland, he would have come here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we see a trade for another TE in the next 24-48 hours. I really do feel bad for the guy. No, getting your foot stepped on isn't your fault, but dang this guy is as unlucky as they come when it comes to injuries and more specifically, getting on the field for the Bills. Something's gotta give sooner than later.. The most important ability is availability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
